Tell us about you and what you do at Capgemini.  

I joined Capgemini more than six years ago. I currently reside in Newbury Park, Los Angeles, but will be relocating to Houston, Texas, to be closer to my clients.

I serve as a Go-To-Market Lead and Architect for our Insights & Data North America (I&D NA) Resources & Energy Transition (R&ET) clients. My role involves overseeing enterprise-level architecture and closely collaborating with the CTO (Chief Technology Officer) and IT (Information Technology) directors on their sustainability and data and generative AI transformative journey.

I am also active across many different groups that promote collaboration at innovation: I am a national lead for the Organized Carbon & Environment Action Network (OCEAN) employee resource group, I lead the Insights & Data NA Gen Garage, serve as a single point of contact for the Architects Community, and am a member of the Americas Architects Council.

What does your day-to-day look like?

There is a lot of collaboration with clients, CTOs, and IT directors – ensuring that our architecture aligns with transformation goals. It involves strategic planning, problem-solving, and driving innovation in the Energy, Utilities, & Chemicals (EU&C) sector with data and AI technologies. I love solving complex challenges for clients because it resonates with my passions and brings immense satisfaction.

It’s like living my dream every day!
